Our friends over at the BlackBerry Blog posted a guest piece today from Dan and Minna from the RIM TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) team in Sweden. This is the team that worked on the Scrapbook application for the BlackBerry PlayBook, and they give you a little peek into what all went into developing this cool little app. As with some of the other applications we saw back at Mobile World Conference, Scrapbook was originally just a demo, used to showcase just what the BlackBerry PlayBook would be capable of.
Our intention was to create a fun, comprehensive and visually impressive demo that communicates the power and potential of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. As for all demos at large events, we looked for something that could be explained and demonstrated with an impact in less than a minute. The demo was a hit at MWC and many people who saw the demo wanted to see it become a real application for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Scrapbook was then handed over to a skilled app team within the Research In Motion TAT team, which faced the task of turning it into the real application that many of you enjoy today.
It's an interesting read with some neat pictures of early planning stages, and you can check it all out at the link below. I was especially happy to hear that they have more updates planned as well! Scrapbook was recently updated to v1.1, which brought with it a few new features such as new themes and sharing to Facebook from within the app. If you don't already have this app installed you can grab it from App World at the link below.

Scrapbook for the BlackBerry PlayBook updated to v1.2 bringing a new sticker set, better organization
I really like the Scrapbook app on my BlackBerry PlayBook. I find different uses for it, and my daughter loves to play around with it, combing pictures and stickers (and even random app screenshots) to make her own special brand of collage. Scrapbook has seen several updates and today is again updated, now to v1.2. Key New Features in Scrapbook for BlackBerry PlayBook v1.2: Add a...
Scrapbook for BlackBerry PlayBook updated bringing new wallpapers, stickers, and Facebook sharing!
Back in May at the BlackBerry World Conference, Scrapbook was unveiled for the BlackBerry PlayBook. This app was developed by The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) and is a fun way to put your pictures together with clip art and colorful backgrounds for sharing. I like using this app, as does my daughter, but I always wished there were more backgrounds and clip art to choose from. Today that...
Keep in shape and get toned with the Max Capacity Training app
It's a brand new year, we've been indulgent during the holidays. I have to admit I started becoming a little food hungry when the cold weather started to kick in. But even when I do, I try to keep in shape regardless. I'm not a fitness fanatic but I do like to keep in shape, even if I know I won't be as fit as I was before I was 21. I try to do different kinds of workouts and because...
